Mr & Mrs Jupp, & photo album Completed

[bucgad]

This Wiltshire family is mine.
Bowman contacted me via Wikitree and I have sent a reply.
I will tell you more about these as I have been tracing the family for several years.
I used to be a member of Bitterne Local History Society and also West End and am a member of Hampshire Genealogy Society.
Maude who married Edwin Jupp was born in Windsor as her father worked for Queen Victoria as did her maternal grandfather who lived in the Isle of Wight.
I have a book with a photograph of her parents at Windsor.
I had not researched the marriages of the girls so was not aware who Maude had married.

Would be interested in any further information you have on the people in the photos. Couldn't find any info on little Harold at all, and the young dark haired girl does not seem to be from the same family - was she a Jupp?

I have a little more info on this family, although my original post was regarding the Jupp wedding, as you will see in the 4th photo, at the top there are feint initials and the name Wiltshire, this refers to the 4 girls in the pic, I believe they are Hilda, Grace, Mildred and Jess daughters of Gilbert and Harriett Wiltshire, and they were all born in Windsor, as the father was coachman to King Edward, as for Maud, she was a widow at the time of her marriage to Edwin Jupp, her first husband was Arthur Blachford and he went down with his ship, HMS Queen Mary, at the battle of Jutland, along the with around 1,300 of the crew in 1916, just 1 year after their marriage.

As you see bucgad replied adding info and I am hoping that I hear from a contact in Netley with the possibility of handing the album over, fingers crossed.

I have not yet contacted the person who needs to make arrangements with you but intend to do so this week.
You might be interested in my blog.
It is at http://genemeet.blogspot.co.uk/

Update on this subject, I have been in contact with a descendant of the Wiltshire family, the album will be passed on to them on my next visit to Southampton.

Many thanks for all who have shown an interest in my quest.

I finally have the photos as I came to Southampton for the wedding of my niece last month.
I have decide to put the hospital photos up on Pintrest and will add a link from my blog to see if anyone may be interested.
I believe Mr and Mrs Jupp may have had a daughter who appears to have married and had 5 children.
I also found that Queenswood Clapham Park was a girls school in Kings Avenue, Clapham. I wonder if someone in the family taught at the school.
When I was at university in London we lived just around the corner from here.

I never did get to meet your sister, but she found them all OK, I hope the disc comes in handy, I thought I would scan them all and put them on disc in the event that you could use them in the way you say, glad to be of help.

Hi all,
I don't have any information to help, but I do remember a Mr & Mrs Jupp from early WWII days.
I was born in April 1940 and remember staying with them when I was about 2½ to 3 years old before my sister was born.
I remember both of them being very kind, they were older people - like grandparents to me. Mr Jupp used to smoke a pipe, I can recall watching him light it and puffing away in front of the fireplace and I remember having my photograph taken standing on their front steps. I will see if I have that photograph among the photo's I managed to retrieve from my parents' house after they died (I live in Australia).
I have no clue as to where they lived but as I lived in Purbrook, Hampshire at the time it wouldn't have been far from there.
I have never forgotten them, hence my sudden impulse to type their names into Google and finding these posts.

Cheers,
Davo
